Do Captopril Renogram and Losartan Renogram Influence the Choice of Drug (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor/Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker) to be Initiated in Renal Patients?

Comparison of aspirin renogram and captopril renogram in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Preliminary data indicate that aspirin renography with hippurate may be more sensitive for detection RAS. In this study 20 patients with known or suspected RAS underwent aspirin renography (20 mg/kg orally 1 hour before injection of radiotracer) and captopril renography (50 mg orally) with 99mTc-DTPA. Renal an...

Renovascular hypertension identified by captopril-induced changes in the renogram.

Radioisotope renography was performed in 21 patients with hypertension and unilateral renal artery stenosis with and without premedication with 25 mg of captopril, and the results were compared with the effect of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty on the blood pressure, assessed 6 weeks after angioplasty. Angioplasty caused a considerable decrease in blood pressure in 15 of the 21 patients. ...
